Update: McLaren have asked fans talking about the launch on Twitter to use the hashtag #MP425. Tweets using that tag will be displayed on a special Twitter wall at the McLaren Technology Centre. I can imagine a few people wanting to have some mischief with that so I hope McLaren have got filters in place. Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter.

I just hope McLaren’s new car looks nothing like last years Red Bull! We all know Adrian Newey is a genius when it comes to aerodynamics, and many times in the past other teams copied his ideas (he has made copies too). But come on you guys improvise a little bit! Unlike Ferrari (or should I say red Red Bull) I’d love to see something new for a change today. Oh, and I don’t care about its beauty. Its pure speed that concerns me, and well see some of that in the coming days hopefully. Like the grate Enzo Ferrari used say “it looks ugly but its fast!”

I would like to ask one question to Lewis Hamilton!
I consider Lewis a great driver, no ofence to anyone, but “would he be ready to have the new Champion and actual number one driver having preferencial the treatment that Alonso never got in the McLaren garage or will his father starts calling for intervention from the God´s?”
Once for all, i would like to see all padocks cleared of outside interventions and let the drivers fight inside the tracks with the same car.

If I can remember the beginning of 2007, Lewis was clear n°2 and for the first 4 or 5 races, it was clear for everyone Alonso was n°1 at McLaren’s.
Only later did attention shift, and I believe that McLaren was honestly 100% behind the double world champion right until it became apparent the new kid in town was surprisingly just as good. (And probably easier to work with)

I guess all teams are working in a completely different car for the first race, this launch is just for the pictures!
They just want us all and especially the other teams this will be the car they will be racing!

Sorry fellow McLaren fans but from the front that is not pretty! That high nose reminds me of BMW’s last season and the sidepod intakes are almost square! But from the side it looks pretty spectacular, elegantly sculpted at the back of the car. The question is, is it quick?
